Zoo-keepers have successfully bred a bright blue poison dart frog in Britain. Boris Johnson wrote of of the EU as a “teleological construction”, and of spending the “Brexit bonus” on the NHS.

Bonus poem: Party leader Henry Bolton has to survive a UKIP emergency general meeting, after the loss of confidence in his leadership. He recently left his wife for a young woman in her twenties, Jo Marney (whether she is now his ‘ex’ is a matter of tabloid debate). Apologies to T.S. Eliot.
